On the above named date I will to my dear beloved wife all my estate.

Attorney J. H. Conroy appeared for
the widow. The Gordons have 3 chil
dren. Theaker, one of the witnesses, was a young man who made his home with them. Dr. Gordon is said to have
owned considerable real estate, and in addition his wife had a large Income in her own name.

HERE'S A tCETTLE OF
FOR SOMEBODY
TO FRY
"PhiV McLaughlin, the "mayor of
Saxony," accompanied by a neighbor
hood constitupency. representing Ham
mond's rural suburban life, appeared
before the board of public works this
morning with a grievance.
The farmers want a forty-foot pave
ment on Calumet avenue as far as the
Little Calumet river Instead of the pro-
posed twentyfour-foot pavement, which the county commissioners have decid
ed upon. While Calumet avenue is a county road and its Improvement rests
in the hands of the commissioners, the
farmers nevertheless look to the city
for redress.
They look to the city, because some
time ago the city took possession of
Calumet avenue as far us the river, annexed it in fact, as city property.
forty-foot county pavement, and Calumet avenue, which the farmers consider equally as Important as Hohman street, is to have only a twenty-four foot pavement. Anybody in North township is ready to agree with the farmers that they are right in their contentions regarding the width, but the
board of public works of Hammond
tells them they must take their griev
ance to the county commisisoners and not to the city. The additional pavemen could be secured in one of three
ways. The farmers could pay for it themselves, as they are the ones that would be most directly benefited, or the city of Hammond could pay for It out
of its general fund, or the county com
missioners, upon the recommendation
of the viewers, could provide It. The

too late for a change of program. One other solution which "Phil" Mc
Lauerhlin suggests, but which of
course was given no consideration by
the city, was that the city release its
rights on Calumet avenue so that the
street would come under the jurlsdic tlon of the township, and that a forty foot street could then be provided.

BECKER OF
GARY TO HAVE MOST IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
A most important gathering will take place in the Gary Commercial club rooms on Jan. 13 of the various organ izations in the Calumet region, comprising the Lake county conference of thii board of charities. Thee delegates will consider the best methods of relieving the poor and attending to the delinquent and neglected children In this, as well as In other parts of the state. It is hoped that this matter will be given great publicity, and that the people will come to realize something, not only of the wretched conditions under which many people are living in this region, but, what is more Important, of the needes of children in aeglected and indifferent families. Lake county is breeding crime every moment in its neglected and delinquent children. There are many children in the schools of the region today, kept there by force of the state law, but with Insufficient clothing and food. Some of the teachers have the oreslght to look after the feeding and clothing of some of the children who have been the trouble makers in the school. There are other Instances where both the father and the mother in the home are drunkards. It Is" the purpose of the board of charities, and particularly of this conference, to discuss ways and means of handling these problems so as to minimize these
evid results which will be bad enough under any circumstances. The program is as follows: MORNING SESSION, 9:00. Board of State Charities Its Purpose and Duties..... Judge W. H. Eichhorn, Bluffton Poor Relief: (a) The Township Trustee as Poor Relief Officer Miss S. E. Clark, Inspector, Board of of State Charities. (b) Charity Organization Socleties. .Sherman C.

about to carry out a nice little scheme
to take thirty feet of the eighty-foot highway when the whole thing was
nipped in the bud. To 'cap the climax.
as far as things have gone, President Whitney ordered his policemen to apply their axes to fence posts which the Kensington & Eastern railroad had set up as their new right of way.
Soni Original Records Lost. Twenty years ago the Chicago Canal & Dock company dedicated to the town of Thornton an eighty-foot highway. For some reason or other the plat was not recorded in the recorder's office. The records showed little or nothing of the transaction. Apparently the people were asleep on their rights, and several weeks ago the original dedicators without mentioning the original grant informed the 'Burnham town board that they had dedicated a fifteenfoot strip to the E., J. & E. railroad and another fifteen-foot strip to the Kensington and Eastern railroad, thest, two strips paralleling Howard avenue. President Whitney, suspicious, ot the transaction, vetoed the resolution approved by the board with reference t the dedication, and began to dig up what old records he could find. The Kensington & Eastern, acting on the theory that possession is ninetenths of the law lost no time In marfting its new right of way and began gan to set a line of ?cmfwluyuyq to set a line of right-of-way poles last week encroaching fifteeen feet on Howard avenue. President Whitney considering the company a trespasser on the public highway last Saturday, ordered his policemen to cut them down. Speaking of the matter today, he said that he would not be surprised to see a legal fight started. The Kensington & Eastern connects
Inspiring services are reported by. the churches which began the simultaneous campaign last night. There were good audiences, eoul-stlrrlng music, helpful sermons and a good spirit of fellowship. Rev. F. O. Fraley preached at the Presbyterian church; Rev. A. W. Hoffman at the Congregational church; Rev. M. J. Cameron at the Christian church; Rev. C. J. Sharp at the Baptist church; Rev. F. II. Adams at the Methodist church, and Rev. C. A. Smith at ' the Episcopal church. All the pastors preached on the same subject, "Revivals." Tonight all will speak on "Personal Evangel'.n." It Is expected that the attendance will be somewhat diminished to
night on account of the large number of church people who will attend the j
i big meeting In the Chicago Coliseum ,
in connection with the "World in Chi- ; oago" exposition, but there will be 1

"Military training In America is very
deficient," was the remark recently made by an Englishman. He was not a competent critic because he had Just arrived in America and consequently was not speeking from observaton but from the preconceived notion that seems to prevail abroad very generally. He merely voiced the sentiment of that vast population In English which is thoroughly convinced tb.at nowhere under the sun is there to be found a system of military training quite as admirable as that in the tight little Island. His remark was too premature, because if he had traveled and seen more of America, he would not have made It. He probably would have learned what all travelers realize: namely, that the longer they sojourn in any particular country the less they have to say about It, because with each succeeding day of observation they realize they have much to unlearn and that many of their first Impressions were entirely wrong. Strange as It may seem, they usually admit that they do not know as much about America after
being here one year as they think they

know after being on these shores for
only one week. The visitor who made the afore-mentioned remark was er-
actly one of this type. His . comment was overheard by Lyman H. Howe, who at once decided on a very direct and practical method of discounting the prevalent opinion expressed by the Englishman. He dispatched his photographers to Culver, Ind., where a model military training school is located. There, amid scenes of most idyllic beauty, they secured an elaborate series of animated views which show the methods, tactics, precision, discipline, sports, activities and equipment of a model mltary traning school. These views prove conclusively that Instead of military training in America being "deficent" It la on the contrary, as efflcent as the training of the best military institutions In any country in the world. In fact the perfect drills, horsemanship, maneuvers, target practice and -other phases of the student's life, depicted from his arrival as a raw recruit to his graduation as a cadet, will come as a revelation even to Americans. They will be presented by Mr.
Howe at the Hammond theater tonight.
